Can anyone tell me the main thread color on the following two factory St. Croix rods, which have since been discontinued and replaced with different color blanks:
Older pre-IPC Avid series fly rods with the matte dark grey blanks. Main color wraps have a bluish grey tint but I can't guess the Gudebrod color. Older Legend Elite fly rods with the brown perlescent blanks. Main color has a mocha sort of color but I can't guess the Gudebrod color. I need to do a couple repairs and would like to get the match right so I don't have to rewrap everything and can just rewrap the damaged guides. Thanks for any help.

If you have to wrap a guide or two cut them off and look underneath them. That should give you the best color to try and match with a color chart. Bill - willierods.com Re: St. Croix factory rod thread colors

I would call St Croix too. I had one of their rods in for a broken guide, the rod was a model that they don't make currently and I called them, they gave me all the necessary info to replace the guide and the correct color of the thread. They run a first class operation in my opinion and they were more than willing to help out. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
